I have an issue with designing a query.i have three tables (there is more but these should do for this)
Game Review
reviewer
Game
i need a query that will only select games that the reviewer has not reviewed.its to populate a box on a add review form so that when a reviewer has been selected, the next drop-down will only show games that have not been reviewed yet by that reviewer.
Is it possible to sort a natural table drop down by date from within a query? What im doing:
1. making a query that has certain results displayed
2. within the query you can select one of the field boxes and it has a list of all the items in that table.
3. is it possible to sort this natural table listing from within the query. I have attached a screenshot. Same thing happens with the client ID listing from within the query. Want to know if it is possible or not to sort those. I cant see how.
I have a form (DropDown form) that has 3 drop down fields, you select your values from the drop downs and you would push a command button that runs an event procedure which runs a query (DropDown qry test). The user should have the option of picking any combination of fields to filter by. Or no combination, which would return all values in all fields. So I am basically using the form as parameter's for the query.
The problem I'm having is that my query is returning values for one field AND values for another field. Even if the other values selected are not in the same record. It's not combining the fields together to filter. For example: you pick a Project name and Supplier name, the query will return records that have the project name you selected but it will also return records with the supplier name you selected that have a different project name.
I've attached screen shots of the form and the design view of the query (the screen shot cut off the last column name. It is meant to say "Expr3: [Forms]![DropDown form]![Combo7]").
Using Windows 7,
Access 2010
Is there a way to select multiple values from the drop downs?
When creating a query I have set up a parameter query as instructed (in this case searching for a name) but when I run the query it returns the error 'this expression is typed incorrectly etc.'
I have worked out that this must be due to the fact that the names are not typed in by a front-end user but need to be chosen from a dropdown list (which i have stored in a separate table) - So, the query seems to fail based on that.
I have a table that is a list of all of my events. Each record of events should have a child table that list all of the things that happened at the event. When a new record (event) is added how can I have a new child table created and linked to that record. Also I have a blank table to serve as a template for what each child should look like. How do I make sure this occurs? The child tables can have the same name as the index. I am just using numbers 1- for the index with 1 being the first event and so on?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI been tasked with a project to be written in access which I am rather unfamiliar with, web design is more my area.
For part of the project I need to copy some pricing fields from a pricing table to a new record at the point that the new record is created. The new record is created when a 'new form' button is clicked.
What I would like to know is what and where I should trigger the copy query from and what function should I be using?

Hi! Im wondering why my code below Does not work!.... any suggestion???
strStatement = "SELECT SessionData.RunNumber, SessionData.SessionID, SessionData.SequenceNo, SessionData.SubjectID, SessionData.Latency, SessionData.BeamBrk1, SessionData.BeamBrk2, SessionData.BeamBrk3, SessionHeader.SessionDate, SessionHeader.ChamberNo" & _
"SessionHeader.GroupID, SessionHeader.SubjectVariables, SessionHeader.TestDefName FROM SessionData" & _
"INNER JOIN SessionHeader ON SessionData.RunNumber = SessionHeader.RunNumber;"
getQueryname = InputBox("Enter a name for New Query?", "Enter a Label or Name for Query", "Enter Query name/Label Here", 500, 700)
Set qryEmployees = curDatabase.CreateQueryDef("getQueryname", strStatement)
why is it that as soon as you fix one problem another one needs dealing with :mad:
OK, the problem i have is that i have a BE/FE configuration database in a multiuser environment. I have built all the tables and the relationships in the BE configuration. In the FE configurations i have built the main forms to input data. It has no come to the point where i have begun to create the queries to allow reporting and data searching. And this is where i have a problem. I am trying to create a simply query and i do mean simple (at the moment i simply want 2 fields from 1 table and 2 fields from another table) no calculations or anything i just want it to display the data. I have tried creating this query numerous times and i keep getting the same error.
"The wizard is unable to open your query in datasheet view, possibly because another user has a source table open in exclusive mode. Your query will be opened in design view"
the above is the error i get when i use a wizard to create the query, after getting this message and going into design view i try to view the results in datasheet view and get the following error "Type Mismatch in expression"
If i dont use a wizard and create it in design view, when i go to view the results i get the second error message everytime.
If i create a query from 1 table only the query works without errors, but i always get errors when i have more than one table in the query.
Also i am the only person with the database open so therefore it is total impossible for the database to be open by another user in exclusive mode.
Anyone know what the problem might be or how to fix. Your answers will be very much appreciated.
do you guys use a query as your data source in you form?
if not how do you build a form with mutilple tables with the same unique id.
I Have A Query Where There Is An Input Box For Example What Region Do You Want The Query To Run On And Instead Of Typing It In I Would Like To Know If It Is Possible To Have A Drop Down Menu Of Possible Selections

Hi All,
I am wanting to build a table which consists of all the queries and tables in the database.
I am expecting column 1 to have all the queries and column 2 to contain all the tables that make up the query. So the table will look like this:
Queries - Linked Tables
Query1 - Table1
Query2 - Table1
Query2 - Table2
Query3 - Table1
Query3 - Table4
As you can see a table can be linked to any number of tables.
Now for my actual question. I don't want to have to type in all the queries and tables. I would like to choose any query and table from a drop down of all possible queries and tables that are currently in the database - like a list, where the list contains all the possible values.
I would then select the relevant entry.
Any pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Evan
In my table I have the following fields that are tick boxes
Vee
Cathedral
Round Bilge
Bilge Keel
RIB
Semi-Displacement
Keel
Lifting Keel
Each record can take a couple of these options. For example record 1 could be ticked for a 'vee' and a 'cathedral' whereas record 2 could be ticked for all of them.
I have been trying to use these to make a search form. I want to be able to chose on ie. 'Round Bilge' and it will search for a record that is ticked 'round bilge'. I have done this for both a combo box and a list box and have used the formula for each field [Forms]![Boatsearch]![hulltype]
When I have clicked run query I have an error message saying: 'This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables'.
Co-worker asked me if there was a way to add a drop down selection menu to a parameter box. Seems like ACCESS can do a lot of neat things.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have two combo boxes ref 1 and ref 2
Both have the same source list but I would like the ref 1 list to exclude ref 2 and the ref 2 list to exclude ref 1 but I am struggling when either value is Null gives me no list.
Ref 1 row source
SELECT [Reference Probes].Ref, IIf([Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 2]=Null,([Reference Probes].[Ref]) Is Not Null,[Reference Probes].[Ref]) AS Expr1 FROM [Reference Probes] WHERE (((IIf([Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 2]=Null,([Reference Probes].[Ref]) Is Not Null,[Reference Probes].[Ref]))<>[Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 2]));
Ref 2 row source
SELECT [Reference Probes].Ref FROM [Reference Probes] WHERE ((IIf([Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 1]=Null,([Reference Probes].Ref) Is Not Null,[Reference Probes].[Ref])<>[Forms]![frmCalibration]![Ref 1]));
Ref 1 after update has Me.Ref_2.Requery
Ref 2 after update has Me.Ref_1.Requery
As you can see I have tried two different ways but both don't work.
I have an access database which import the .csv file but after importing it is creating the tables
"google_ImportErrors"
If i won't delete this, for next time i would open the database it will create the tables and follow the same sequence like stated below and it increase the size of the database so deletion must be required which i do manually.
"google_ImportErrors1" (table names)
"google_ImportErrors2"
"google_ImportErrors3"
"google_ImportErrors4"
I want to delete/drop all tables with a query that have the names like "google_ImportError...", how to do that in automation?
Is there anyway that access could create a drop down box within a drop down box? For instance, when a selection is made in a drop down box, it opens another drop down box with choices.And is it possible to link an inserted image from a form to open in MSPaint that when it opens, the image is already there?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in which someone can select a table from a drop down list and then search that table for a record then move that record to another table.
For example.
User selects 'Mikey's_table' searchs for a record then move this selected record to 'Mandy's_table'
(all the tables have the same structure etc. identical apart from the name of the table and records within)
I have the list of tables that all the records will be on and the users will know which table the record is in, i basically need to know if there is an ability to search for a record over multiple tables then edit that record and move it to another Table.
I have tried to use a Union Query which works when searching but i cannot edit or move the record ...
I have been using a table with queries with no problems. Now the queries wont recognize the last two records of the table when doing a Count. there are no null or empty spaces. I am using the drop down access standard menu to place the "Count" command. Is there a solution to this problem ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a query with the parameter for the Domain field. however on the form the user enters this information via a drop down menu. i was just wondering could the parameter box be set to a drop down box as well to save the user entering in the full Domain field name?
View 6 Replies View RelatedCurrently the database has a parameter query in which the query is entered via a pop up box, it would be preferred if the query could be selected from a list of criteria in a combo box and run via a command button.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I have a Report in my database that pulls off a query. In the Form, you can select a value (say "TYPE") from a drop-down box. In the Query, I have to manually enter the "TYPE"...therefore in the Report, I also have to enter the "TYPE" before the Report pulls up. To avoid problems, I would rather run the Report and/or Query from a dropdown. Is that possible?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a drop box that has four selections from a table (NORTH, EAST,SOUTH or WEST) I also have a another table that has two fields which is a NAME of a person and either NORTH, EAST,SOUTH,WEST depending on the persons name. What I need to happen (within a form) is that when I select NORTH from a drop down box, I can then select names in another drop down box that correspond to NORTH only. Then only names from the South list if I select SOUTH etc
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
Ok, let me preface this with I'm a newbie at Access, and I'm currently using Access 2003. I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Right now I have multiple tables with set data in them that doesn't change linked to another table where I have a drop down menu (combo box I think it's called in Access) to easily select the given data from. I want to have a drop down box (combo box) to have a set of given variables I have in a table to put in the search criteria. That way a user doesn't have to type the exact criteria into a query. That way I can easily put in the variables I want to search from in the query with less chance of an error. I'm hoping this is possible.
Ideally if I could get help in how to make a form that would allow me to have the set of columns from the corresponding tables with combo boxes to select from and then be able to have a "subimt" button and have it organize the selected results into that form as well.
Thank you for taking time to read this.
Hey guys,
Is it possible to create a drop-down menu Query, as opposed to the basic Parameter Query where the condition is typed in a dialog box? Just thinking it would be easier for the user in that it would eliminate mistakes due to spelling errors. Would it be possible?
I'm a new access user and surrounded by 3 1000 page access books and I can't seem to find the answer to this seemingly simple question. I really have tried.
I have a query that prompts the user for specific criteria. How do I make this query prompt a drop down menu rather than just free text, where the user is forced to know and enter exactly what their options are for the criteria.
any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Hello !
I am trying to build a query where you would select condition from drop menu. Is it possible at all ? Maybe in SQL ? :confused:
